Liquid vs. LG @Faceit Predictions

Very hard match to call, between two teams who on their day can compete with the best in NA. The map that this game settles on could have huge implications as to the outcome of it.

Liquid have been in pretty good form recently, and even looked stronger against EU teams than most people expected. They still have a lot of issues in their roster, with their main problem being they seem to have no idea how to play anti ecos, to the point where sometimes I am face palming watching it.

LG, well I honestly like their roster a lot. Fallen is amazing, fer is amazing, cold is an incredible pick-up, b0ltz is solid, and steel can be their weak player, but can also go big when it matters. I would actually be curious to see how FNX from GA would perform with these guys, but that’s for another day.

LG’s recent results have been convincing wins against Winterfox, and FE. They also managed to beat Conquest in a BO1 on Train, which 2 poor losses before against c9 and Conquest. Liquid have actually not played many NA teams recently, with most of their results being in Europe. They took a map off fnatic, performed well against VP, and beat Renegades twice.

I would put the read odds for this game at around 55-45 in favour of Liquid, so with the odds currently being 60-40, I will go LOW/ICB on LG and hope they don’t end up on Cache.
